What is the best way to market a marketing book - online?

    I just released a book. I am looking for the best way to market it online. I am familiar with marketing online but would appreciate some pointers from the experts on how to promote a book online - the right way.

    The book is "A Gringo's Guide to Online Hispanic Marketing". It is a must read for anybody that wants to start an online business or grow an existing one - with a secret element which is how to market to the Hispanic population known as Generation Equis.

    The book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, but I would like to understand how to market "the book" using other channels too - if they are available.

    I look forward to any advice as I don't know everything - yet ;)

    Thank you.:)

    Best,
    Miles

    If it's a "must read," then shouldn't you already know how to market this?

    Stupid-ass threads.

    Thanks for your replies. I was just asking a question. I guess you didn't understand the question. That's ok.

    best way is to have a blog to write about your topic. Pretty straight forward stuff. Seems like nowadays writing a blog is the best way.

    There are a lot of ways to market a good ebook. Try using fan pages of facebook. Sign up in payloadz, try affiliate marketing or simply use any seo strategies around.

    April, Michael and Rashida, Thanks for sincere replies. I am planning most of those approaches, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. It is nice that you give feedback to help, not insult. It is nice to learn from each other. I'm here If any of you ever need support. I work that way. Thanks! Forums work when we work together.

    Blah, blah, blah.

    You have a marketing book you want to market, yet you don't know how to market it.

    The sound of that makes me laugh, and roll my eys at the same time.

    I could care less if you feel you are getting insulted. Throw this, "must read" book away.

    Best way of marketing a book online is to have a good Title first. If your title does n't suit what you are marketing it will fail. That's what happen with 99% marketer.
